[in memorial] Old-Lumens ltd. Edition: Astrolux A01

Well, I don’t know who at Banggood is in charge of this. Remember that Neal has been fired a while back.

i offered Justin to share my account...

i would collect the commission made by the light and paypal it to him directly.

the only problem is that it happens that a order is not correctly linked to my account sometimes.
-> if one sends me the ordernumber i can look if it was counted - if not we can find a solution ;)

my promise:
if anyone orderes the light using my link i will send the earned money to Justin!

I would ask if they plan to give him the 8% directly…if not…remove his name from the product.

Awesome Martin! That’s a plan I can get behind, if Justin approves. I’d still like to hear something official from Banggood though.

OK, I ordered using your link.

I also sent a small token directly to Justin.

well - i send the money to him anyway ;)

Neal is a flashaholic and really appreciates this community - i am not sure if anyone will catch up....
so let us honor the original idea...

I am thankful to M4D M4X or anyone who can help work out the situation. I believe that stopping Banggood from using my logo is a thing of the past, so any way to get them to own up to what Neil had promised, is a good thing. I, personally, am just tired of Banggood and do not want to deal with them. I will leave it all up to y'all and if you need something from me, I will try to help, but me and Banggood are done for good, as far as I am concerned.

Thank you all for such patience and such support throughout all this time. It has been and continues to be the light in the porch window for me.

Banggood really sucks lately! :weary:

I sent you a donation, you need the money more that I need more flashlights. :wink:

I stand by what Old says. Do not buy the light unless he gets what he is owed! Its nice of you M4D M4X to do that thank you. But we may just make the situation worse? I am sure Banggood doesn’t want hundreds of lights they can not sell. So they need to come clean on the deal! Plus they may have the F13 in stock also?

Just to update this. I just received a message from someone at Banggood names Swi, who wants to all of a sudden, be friends and make flashlights with my logo. I think he might be a little slow on the take, since they already are doing that, without my permission. I simply told him that when Banggood pays 8% of the sale of every light sold with my logo so far, to me, into my PayPal account, then we can talk, but if he says that it was not ever approved by Banggood, then I will know he is full of it and I will stop communications with them. I can't see this as ever being anything good, but maybe I will be surprised. I could use a good surprise for a change, LOL.

Anyhow, I just wanted to let y'all know what is going on at the moment and I will keep you informed, if you want, that is.

Thanks,

Justin

Hello Justin,

Apologize again for our mistakes.

Of course, we will follow what Neal promised you and pay for you seem like we started as agreed.There are few flashlights have already sold.I will ask the colleague to follow up it. Please don’t worry! Wait for a while patiently.

Because I returned maternity leave at the end of Nov and taken over this forum,need time to follow up all things one by one, including yours.Anyway, we will solve this as soon as possible.

On behalf of banggood to apologize to you once again, thank you for understanding!!

Best Regards,
Swi

Banggood has now honored their agreement, so if any of you want to buy one of these lights with the Old-Lumens Logo, please feel free to go ahead and purchase knowing that Banggood will honor the payment to me. I received my first paypal payment from them. Only a couple have been sold, but they did honor it. For every one sold, I will get 8% of the sale. Well, Valerie will get 8%.

I do not know about any other lights right now, like the F13. I am not doing too good and don't know if I can work any more deals, but get an A01 with my logo if you want. You might want to mention you are a blf member in the notes when buying, but it should not matter. They should honor all sold, no matter what.

Thanks to all of you.

EDIT: I mean a HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU

Order placed for 1. It will be my honor to have this light by my side.

Thanks to Swi for picking this project up where it was dropped :+1: And to M4DMAX for nudging it along again. I was going to get one of these but finances slowed me and then things went awry, but now that we’re back on track I’m ordering one now.

This thread needs a bump :wink: I received mine and am happy to say it looks better than the pics show. I tested it and removed the cell as this light will get it’s place of highest honor in my small collection. It’s truly the nicest light I own.

Phil

Mine’s coming next week as well.

No sign of the F13 yet, looks like that ones not going to happen. Shame as I liked the look of that one :frowning:

BUMP

Order this light, it’s a great way to remember Justin by.
